TRS wins GHMC polls, lauds KCR's leadership

Hyderabad: The ruling TRS saw yesterday's results in Hyderabad municipal elections that gave it a spectacular victory and majority in the 150-member civic body as a vote of confidence in the leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR).

"Basically, our work is reaching the people...", TRS leader and KCR's daughter, Kalvakuntla Kavitha, who is also Lok Sabha Member from Nizamabad, told a news agency.

The ruling TRS pulled off a spectacular victory and coasted to majority in the prestigious Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections decimating the TDP-BJP alliance and the Congress.

"I would say it's only our Chief Minister's vision and his dedication to make sure whatever his policies are...they reach the people. Making a policy is easy; implementation is difficult", she said.

The MP also said that KCR was a "hands-on person" who reviews things and sees that deadlines were met.On TRS not contesting the previous GHMC polls in 2009, Kavitha said it was strategic decision of Rao.

"People had many apprehensions (then)...what will happen if Telangana comes (becomes a reality)...what will be security situation...what would be the real estate situation in Hyderabad and what kind of person KCR would be", she said.
